Certification Overview

The Veterinary Medical Applications Certification features demonstrations and materials from practicing veterinarians working with both small and large animals. The certification consists of 22 modules and a 100-question final certification exam.

Pursuing a veterinary track provides valuable experience for students who are passionate about transforming animal health and maintaining the well-being or our food supply and pets.

Yes, these certifications are meant to be integrated with existing courses. In order to achieve a certification, a student must complete certain lessons which are prerequisites to unlocking the final certification exam. Typically these lessons are already part of the normal coursework a student must do in the iCEV system.

Are the certifications stand-alone courses that students take at school or home?

The certifications can actually be both. Our certifications are designed to integrate with classroom instruction since each lesson required for the certification includes lesson plans for the instructor as well as optional in-class activities. However, we do have some districts that prefer to utilize independent study for students to achieve a certification. This model can be utilized as well since each student login gives the student access to view the lessons, content and assessments needed to complete a certification.

Are the certification exams timed?

The certification exams are not timed. However, the student must complete the certification exam in one sitting.

Are the certifications 100% online?

The materials are 100% online, but there are elements, such as lesson plans and other resources that accompany each lesson, which provide teachers the opportunity to use the certification lessons in their daily instruction. The certifications are most effective to students when offered in a blended learning capacity, as teachers interact with students for in-class activities and projects and students utilize the online materials for content and assessment.

How long is each session?

Each lesson has a different suggested time span for completion. Most lessons require one or two hours for a student to successfully complete (if they are just viewing the content and taking the final lesson assessment to obtain certification). However, due to our desire to make the certification fit with classroom instruction, we provide a wealth of activities, projects and in-class instruction materials to enhance the quality of the certification. If all pieces of the certification lessons are utilized, each lesson can take approximately one week to complete.

Can you start the test and go back to it later?

For the final certification exam, no, you cannot start the exam and go back to it later. You also cannot start, exit and begin again. Once you start, you must finish.

What type of credential do you get?

After completing all lessons/modules (scoring at least 70% on the final assessment of each lesson/module), the student will “unlock” the final certification exam. After scoring above 70% on the final certification exam, the certification has been achieved and the student will receive a mailed copy of the certification (via school address).

What software and hardware are required?

Software and hardware requirements are minimal since all of the materials are cloud-based. We do recommend testing your bandwidth by using our free trial to ensure you are able to stream the materials. Also, a few website domains may need to be white listed in order to get the videos and assessments to work properly. iCEV works on both PCs and Macs as well as several devices such as iPads, iPhones and other tablets.

What is the cost? Is there a required license?

Teacher and student licenses are required as well as a certification voucher. The teacher license gives the teacher access to ALL the courses and lessons for a particular subject area, such as Agricultural Science, Architecture, Construction, Transportation, & Manufacturing, Business, Marketing, Finance, IT & Media, Career Exploration, Family & Consumer Sciences, Health Science or Law, Public Safety, Corrections & Security. We also have student licenses which allow students to login and complete the lessons/modules related to the certification and the courses they are currently taking. There is also a certification voucher which can be used to access any of our final certification exams. You can request a personalized quote by visiting www.icevonline.com/quote.
